Taiwan Studies Revisited


Add your own review!

Overview

This book examines and reviews some of the key figures in Taiwan Studies to plot the development of the field by revisiting their earlier influential books and bodies of work. Often autobiographical in detail, each chapter asks the author to discuss the origins of their research and how their engagement with the field has developed since. The contributors then discuss their methodologies, fieldwork and arguments, as well as how their work was received at the time. They also go on to reflect on their chosen methods and core findings, assessing whether they have stood the test of time. Reflecting the diversity of the Taiwan Studies field, subjects covered in this volume include sociology, musicology, linguistics, comparative politics, international relations and anthropology. As such, this comprehensive overview adopts a distinctly interdisciplinary approach to understanding Taiwan. Painting a picture of the changing state of international Taiwan Studies through the work of leading scholars, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Taiwan Studies, Chinese Studies and Asian politics, culture and society.

Reviews

This book deserves to grace the shelves of anyone involved or interested in Taiwan studies. It asks authors of influential books on Taiwan to reflect on their work, years or in some cases decades after their publication. In doing so, we learn much about the consequential ways in which Taiwan has changed and our evolving understanding of those changes. Jonathan Sullivan, The China Quarterly, UK
